Carriage Motion Area and
Speed Control
The carriage motion area is shown in Figure 2-84. This is mainly divided into three areas: 1 ) acceleration
area, 2) printable area, and 3) deceleration area. The printer has five carriage speeds modes.

Figure 2-84. Carriage Motion Area
1. Acceleration Control
When the carriage speed is either O or 1, the carriage is accelerated for 60 steps using 2-2
switching. When the speed is 2, 3, or 4, the carriage is accelerated for 120 steps using 1-2
switching.
2.
Constant Speed Control

phase
phase
Within the printable area, the carriage moves at a constant speed except when the logic seeking function
is active. When the logic seeking function
printing is performed after phase switching for 8
steps (speed O
or
steps (speed 2, 3, or 4).
3. Deceleration Control
When the speed is O or 1, the carriage is decelerated for 60 steps using 2-2 phase switching.
the speed is 2, 3, or 4, the carriage is decelerated for 120 steps using 1-2 phase switching.
4. High Speed Skip
When
When spaces
continue for 10 characters or more during text printing, high speed skipping (speed
O = 4000
will be performed. This function is
shown in Figure 2-85 and is used to shorten the
printing time.
a) Acceleration control:
When shifting to the high speed skip mode from
phase
switching at speed 2, 3, or 4, the current setting value is changed to
that of speed O and the switching system is changed to 1-2 phase
switching.
b) Constant speed control:
The carriage is moved at 4000
c) Deceleration control:
When returning to the 1-2 phase switching at speed 2, 3, or 4 from
the high speed skip mode, the switching system is changed from 2-2
to 1-2 after deceleration control is performed in the 2-2 phase
switching mode. At this time, a margin for one character is used.
